Georgia coach Kirby Smart says Carson Beck leader for QB1

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Georgia coach Kirby Smart told ESPN on Tuesday that Carson Beck has the inside track at this point to be the Bulldogs' quarterback this season.

"He's certainly the leader, but hasn't done enough to say he's the starter," said Smart, whose Bulldogs have won back-to-back national championships.

Beck, a 6-foot-4, 215-pound junior, is vying with redshirt sophomore Brock Vandagriff and redshirt freshman Gunner Stockton to replace Stetson Bennett as the Bulldogs' quarterback. Beck was Bennett's backup a year ago and attempted just 10 passes as a redshirt freshman in 2021.
